Which ROM ???

How do i choose a suited ROM for my desire S ?
There are so many.
It depends on the IMEI or something else ?
Also , whats a "prerooted" ROM ( different from "normal" ROM ? )
Grts

Answer to your last question: a pre-rooted ROM is a custom ROM which already provide root access. If you're unfamiliar to the term root, you should do a little more reading before flashing a custom rom to your device.

Just ensure that you've read through many of the threads available to anyone on this forum, and you'll have a smooth sailing through the seas of custom ROMs.
Your IMEI number doesn't matter.
Try Endymion, it's probably the best (personal opinion) Sense based ROM in the development section.

Loving my Desire S since rooting and flashing a custom ROM, like a new phone

Flinnys CM 11 alpha 3. Very fast and stable after my opinion. There are just some bugs with the camera(video) and bluetooth but check it out anyways.

Hello guys i didnt want to create a new thread.
My mother has a Desire S and is absolutely casual user, the only thing that is important is long battery life and that all features work (No ROMs with Camera bugs and so on pls)
She does not need Tablet Features and whatsoever.
Currently her phone runs MIUI 2.### which is a battery eater and quiet strange.
Do you have any ROM to suggest? Just a very stable, reliable Android with much battery life?
Thx for your help !

Hey guys!
Just got a second-hand Desire S.
I am looking for am advice about a custom ROM with Sense.
What is the highest version of Android with the highest version of Sense available? The best would be: Sense 5.5 with Kit-kat I think.
Any suggestions? Would like a "stable" version if possible.
Ty.

[Q] Best ROM?

Hi,
Whats the best rom for you guys and why?
I'm reading allot about Maximus HD, Viper, pacman and CM.
But how do you chose one? Whats the most stable and advanced ROM for the HTC one s?
I saw that viper only has 4.1.1 android but has like 600+ pages in the forum..
Thanks in advance!
Sorry if someone already asked this but the search did not give me a result.

Cyanogen MOD or Odyssey ROM. both running latest Android Version 4.3.x
They are both good ROM's because they do not have Bloatware installed. Less bloatware means more ram and cpu for you to use. Based on my personal experience with both ROMS the battery life is amazing. And both fast and stable too!

[Q] Roms For Nexus5

Hey i am a newbie to whole rooting thing.....and finally just rooted my nexus5...i have noticed one thing that all the roms e.g.carbon,purity,etc. Are similar to the stock rom....and don't get me wrong bt i need roms that entirely change the device and not just tweak it....also i loved miui on n4 will that rom work on n5....??

Check "original android development" forum.
Please ask questions in q&a

Hi,
Nope, the MIUI rom for the N4 will not work on the N5. Here's a thread for the N5: [ROM] [PORT] MIUI v6 [ALPHA 5] KitKat [RIL WORKING].
About the other roms you mentioned, yes in term of look they looks like to the stock rom (or almost, for example in Purity rom there is more white compared to the stock rom to follow a bit more the Kit-Kat guideline than Google make it with touch of blue here and there ) but not in term of features, you should read closely the OP of each rom...
Some roms include a Theme Chooser so you can change the look of your rom. All the rom in the original dev forum are not just "tweaked" like you said...
Better is to read and test by yourself to find THE rom that suits your needs.

[Q] Most stable Lollipop ROM?

I'm currently on the XT1034, still on stock KitKat. I've been itching to go to Lollipop but it's hard sorting through all these ROMs and their features. Sure, I love the features, but what I care about most is: is it as stable as stock? So in all of your guys opinion, what's the most stable Lollipop ROM - least crashes and bugs, smooth, and good battery life.

I've moved this thread from the development section to the Q&A section.
Development sections are for posting work... Roms, kernels, mods, etc.... Not for posting questions or anything else that is not actual Development.
Thanks!

The most stable is the the 5.0.2 version of the ROM that shall not be named. (You can find it in "getting ready for otas thread ") pure stock in 2 versions.

What's the best custom ROM can I install?

I'm planning to tweak my phone with custom ROM and possibly kernel too if there's a noticable difference. Where do you think I should start? I've never installed a custom ROM nor custom kernel on this phone but I've installed a custom/hybrid OS on a blackberry before.
Edit: Just read the sticky that I can't post a question on this forum. And I don't know how to move this topic to Q&A forum. Sorry about that.

I tried all custom roms
Best rom for me is NNE 3.1 N5 port by alexisXda with Noxxx kernel V7
After all my personal test its the best custom rom with AOD and great battery and performance.
Good luck man.
